Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[dethtoll]

Because other forms of mass media entertainment A) don't have the same level of cultural control and B) aren't sucking up nearly the same amount of money, especially tax dollars.

So your objection to sports is that it's too popular

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[dethtoll]

My objection to sports is that they expect me to pay tax dollars to support other peoples' entertainment in amounts very disproportionate to the tax dollars allocated for things like arts grants, and that I'm expected, by default, to know and care about sports, especially since I'm male. Actual exchange I've had: "Catch the game last night?" "Nah, I don't really watch sports." "What's the matter, you going faggot?"

Sick of it. Sick of society's worship of sports at the expense of nearly all else.

Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly don't think that has to do with sports, as much as it has to do with gender roles and conventional norms of masculinity? Which are a whole other kettle of fish, but certainly highly problematic and worth a discussion in itself, because honestly, having such a narrow view of what constitutes masculinity is baffling at best.

For the record, I partially agree with you re. the ridiculousness of how much money and attention sports get. Celebrating that people are good at something is a nice thing, but sports are disproportionately favored in a way that makes me uncomfortable (there are other things worth celebrating, such as using our brains or compassion). Especially when you add incredibly detrimental things like doping to get ahead - it leaves me with the message that apparently, being a good athlete is always amazing, regardless of consequences.
